“We need action and commitments.”

🎥 UNFPA Goodwill Ambassador Catarina Furtado joined more than 3,000 midwives and partners in to call for midwives.

Investing in midwives is about more than women’s health: it's about securing a healthier and more resilient future for all of us.

“I ran for my life without carrying anything with me, only my children,” says Nyajok (name changed for privacy and protection).

When violence broke out in , the single mother of three had to flee her home with nothing but her kids. The journey to safety was terrifying. She witnessed women and girls facing the constant threat of abuse, completely cut off from food, shelter and medical care.

Right now, an estimated 2.5 million women and girls in South Sudan need urgent protection and support from violence.

In every crisis, women and girls still deserve safety, dignity and care.

Midwives do not simply deliver babies. They deliver possibilities, dignity, and hope.

Investing in them is how we build healthier families, stronger communities, and a more resilient future.

🛑 No girl should ever be subjected to violence in the name of tradition.

Female ge***al mutilation is a severe human rights violation that robs women and girls of their bodily autonomy.

From youth leaders to community elders, people around the world are standing up to protect girls and eliminate this harmful practice for good.

Join UNFPA and help build a world where every girl can grow up safe, healthy and free.

When Manasik fled the war in , she lost her home but not her purpose.

Despite being displaced herself, she continues her vital work as a doctor, helping women and girls who’ve survived violence to find support and healing.

🎥 Watch a day in her life to see the human impact of care on the ground.

🚨 The climate crisis is a reproductive health crisis.

When disasters hit, vital health services face severe disruptions, leaving women to give birth without medical support.

At the same time, displacement and lost livelihoods trigger a spike in gender-based violence, child marriage and transactional s*x.

Current climate adaptation strategies are not sufficient to protect the most vulnerable.

At UNFPA, we are working on the ground to deliver essential healthcare and keep women and girls safe through environmental shocks: unf.pa/mms
